Reviews of Black Vinyl Heart:
"Dark, rousing, beautiful music" - Soulrise.
"Lisa has a truly lovely voice, her soaring range went through the Firebug ceiling! Along with Mel’s constantly sympathetic violaings this was a really beautiful set. She has a totally off the wall range, love it, a female Jeff Buckley indeed!" - Kevin Hewick; Factory Records.
"In one shake of the Hips, Lisa de’Ville can turn water into Jack. Bless her sweet soul." - Jason K. Roy
"Dynamic rock that goes from chilled out melodic moments to huge layered guitar epics in moments, all sung with the voice of an angel." The Maze, Nottingham
"Like a sensual massage for my ears" - Andrew - Aconite Records.
"Wonderful, beautifully crafted Jeff Buckley-meets-PJ Harvey-at-a-Smashing Pumpkins-gig aceness with a genuinly remarkable voice" - Simon Brown, Fire in the Disco.
"’A New Day’ - what a beautiful track. Such a serene sound, kind of a lazy meloncholy (in tone!- not lazy playing!). I adore the vocals, like Jane sibery or Pj Harvey." - Without Eyes.
“As a procession of great songs showed off a wide range of influences - Jeff Buckley pickings, a bit of Bert Jansch celt folk dronings, and in the standout number, the piledriver drumming of Andy McAllister creating a storm of PJ Harvey noise. This really was a great show, a very powerful propositionâ€. - Newark Newspaper-http://bankys-music.livejournal.com
"Quite huge and nice and earthy at the same time. The vocals sounded awesome over it". - Richy - Subway Studios
"Black Vinyl Heart played the LSU main stage with lorraine a few weeks ago and absolutely blew everyone else who they played with off the stage , as they regularly do - Black Vinyl Heart create the soundtrack to your life". -Loughborough Student Union Radio
